[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Modified the documentation on customizing a rootfs to be less ambiguous

[jeffball59 at gmail.com]

From: Jeff Stewart <jeffball59@gmail.com>

While reading the documentation I was a little confused over the recommended
method for customizing the target file system.  After sorting it out in the
IRC channel, I modified the documentation to be a little less ambiguous.
